Grand Tour of Switzerland – detour to the Great Aletsch Glacier

Experience the highlights of Switzerland one after another on this spectacular round trip. Each stage of the Grand Tour of Switzerland brings you closer to the country's sights, magnificent natural landscapes and cultural attractions, as well as a total of 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites – including the Great Aletsch Glacier.
